On a small mountain not far away from the back mountain of the Violet Bamboo Manor, a cluster of fire could be faintly seen.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bonfire with demon beast meat roasting on top of it. The rich fragrance of meat wafted out, causing one's appetite to stir.

On the mountain peak, there were many people. Most of them were young boys and girls about 14 or 15 years old. Their young and tender faces were filled with determination that did not match their age.

Under the illumination of the fire, a worried expression could be seen on their faces. From time to time, they would look towards the mountain range, where the night beasts' roars were even louder.

These youths were naturally Lin Xie and the rest.

At the top of the mountain, a young man in a white robe was standing against the wind. His long black hair draped over his shoulders and his clothes were rustling. He was looking at the mountain where the roars of the beasts were resounding in the sky.

Although his expression was calm and indifferent, there was an unconcealable worry in his eyes. The fist under his sleeve was slowly clenching so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Young Master Qin Feng!" A figure slowly walked out from the darkness, the flames behind him creating a long shadow for him. Walking to his side, he raised his head to look at the mountain range. After a moment of silence, he asked with a hoarse voice, "Do you think His Highness will come back?"

Qin Feng suddenly turned around, his face turning sinister. His eyes were filled with coldness, he grabbed his collar and said in a low voice, "He will naturally return safely, Lin Xie, as their boss, you have to bring them along and come here to spout nonsense. Do you believe that I will throw you down?"

Lin Xie's face was flushed red, Qin Feng's hand was like a gold hoop, tightly grabbing onto him, causing him to be unable to breath.

"Humph!" Qin Feng snorted coldly, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Letting go of his hand, Lin Xie immediately fell onto the ground, clutching his neck, coughing continuously, only to hear Qin Feng saying: "If something were to happen to him in this mountain range, I, Qin Feng, swear that I will overthrow it."

Lin Xie felt a wave of cold wind blowing towards him, he felt that Qin Feng was unfamiliar, he was not the young man who would make them laugh, be confident and unrestrained, these few days.

"Your Highness, please don't let anything happen to us!" Lin Xie prayed in his heart, his fists also clenching, he slowly stood up from the ground.

In front of his eighty brothers and sisters, he maintained a calm and indifferent smile, like a big brother.

Actually, he was the most anxious one about Ling Yun's disappearance, and also the one under the greatest pressure.

Amongst the eighty-one youths, he was the oldest and most sensible.

Now, with Ling Yun missing, he was the backbone of those youngsters. He had to calm down their emotions and prevent them from being impulsive.

"Yes, he will be fine. I overthought things. He has that girl called Ling Er protecting him with her divine will. In this mountain, there are no demon beasts that can threaten his life."

Qin Feng continued in an almost crazed manner. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he stared at the mountain range. However, from the change in his expression and the clenched fists, it was obvious that he was not at peace with himself.

"Young Master Qin Feng, let's go find someone in the mountain!" Lin Xie said softly.

"Find someone?" Qin Feng stared at him coldly. "Relying on you?"

Not looking at Lin Xie's red face, Qin Feng laughed coldly, "Night is the time when demon beasts are at their most active. Even those powerful demon kings in the depths of the forest might come running out, what can you do, you can only send the demon beasts food.

Not to mention us, even Martial Kings would not dare to enter the mountain at night. "
